Cloud Peak VP Speaks at New York Conference

Cloud Peak Energy Inc., one of the largest U.S. coal producers and the only pure-play Powder River Basin coal company, has announced that its senior Vice President of Marketing, Jim Orchard, has been asked to speak at the Credit Suisse 28th Annual Basic Materials Conference in New York City.

The company owns and operates three surface coal mines in the Powder River Basin -- the Antelope and Cordero Rojo mines, located in Wyoming, south of Gillette, and the Spring Creek, located in Montana, just 35 miles north of Sheridan.

Last year, the company shipped about 86 million tons from its three mines to customers located throughout the United States and around the world.

The presentation will be webcast live on Thursday, at 2:30 in the afternoon, eastern time. The online address is posted below.
